The electric quadrupole, hexadecapole moments, energy (kJmol -1) for some armchair polyhex carbon nanotubes TUVC6[2p,q] are performed by Beck-Lee-Yang-Parr [B3LYP] on 3-21G basis set using the standard procedure indices GAUSSIAN 98, then the Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index of TUVC6[2p,q] nanotubes in the terms of their circumference (2p) and lengh (q) is calculated and the relationships between the Pa...

Proactive interference (PI) is the capacity to resist interference to the acquisition of new memories from information stored in the long-term memory. Previous research has shown that PI correlates significantly with the speech-in-noise recognition scores of younger adults with normal hearing. In this study, we report the results of an experiment designed to investigate the extent to which test...

A lot of research and various techniques have been devoted for finding the topological descriptor Wiener index, but most of them deal with only particular cases. There exist three regular plane tessellations, composed of the same kind of regular polygons namely triangular, square, and hexagonal. Using edge congestion-sum problem, we devise a method to compute the Wiener index and demonstrate th...

BACKGROUND Transcranial Doppler can detect cerebral perfusion alteration in septic patients. We correlate static Transcranial Doppler findings with clinical signs of sepsis-associated encephalopathy. METHODS Forty septic patients were examined with Transcranial Doppler on the first and third day of sepsis diagnosis. The pulsatility index (PI) and cerebral blood flow index (CBFi) were calculat...

MOTIVATION The large-scale comparison of protein-ligand binding sites is problematic, in that measures of structural similarity are difficult to quantify and are not easily understood in terms of statistical similarity that can ultimately be related to structure and function. We present a binding site matching score the Poisson Index (PI) based upon a well-defined statistical model. PI requires...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the oral health status of professional soccer players of F.C. Barcelona and its relation to the incidence of sport lesions. METHODS Thirty professional soccer players were consecutively evaluated in the seasons 2003/4, 2004/5 and 2005/6. A research protocol to assess their oral health was developed. DMFT, Quigley & Hein plaque index (PI),...

Background: Chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis are susceptible to periodontal diseases due to systemic complications of the disease and using different drugs. The present study investigated the periodontal status of patient’s who underwent hemodialysis, in Babol, northern Iran. Methods: One-hundred-fifteen hemodialysis patients (63 males, 52 females) with the mean age of 47...

OBJECTIVE Recent findings have suggested that ductus venosus blood flow in the first trimester may be influenced by fetal gender. The aim of the present study was to investigate further the influence of fetal gender on ductus venosus (DV) pulsatility index (PI) and diameter at gestational age 17-37 weeks. MATERIAL AND METHOD This was a cross-sectional study. Three measurements were made for e...

The Padmakar–Ivan (PI) index of a graph G is defined as the sum of terms [mu(e) + mv(e)] over all edges of G, where e is an edge, connecting the vertices u and v, wheremu(e) is the number of edges of G lying closer to the vertex u than to the vertex v, and where mv(e) is defined analogously. The extremal values of the PI index are determined in the class of connected bipartite graphs with a giv...
